fit perfectly
I didn't even need a back up size. I am about a size 4, muscular build, and the dress fit nicely and was super comfortable. Very flattering and got lots of compliments.

Odd fit, didn’t love it, didn’t wear it
I’m not sure if it was just that the size was too big, or if the fit overall is odd, but I did not like how this looked on me. It felt loose, but not in a flattering way. The material is a very light and it only felt appropriate for a summertime event. My event was in the fall and I did not think this would look appropriate for cooler weather. I’m not sure if I can recommend to size down as I never tried the smaller size. I am four months postpartum and despite feeling like it was too loose. I also felt like it showed my belly pooch. Not my favorite dress. That said the pattern is unique and cool.

Most flattering dress ever!
This was my backup dress and I loved it so much I already reserved it again. It is incredibly flattering, even for someone who is 4 months post partum. I love that it comes in S/M/L so that I didn’t have to guess as much on the fit. Both S and M would have worked for me, but I went with S as I like a slightly tighter fit. Length felt appropriate and it’s adjustable. Straps also were adjustable. I am nursing and hate strapless bras so I just stuck some disposable pads in there. Color is perfect for the holidays. Really a great great dress for any cocktail attire event!

Great color and fit!
Loved this dress-- it was both flattering and comfortable. Definitely exceeded expectations. Did not need to wear a bra. The material had nice stretch to it. Even though it went past my knees, it was still comfortable to walk or dance in. The color is more of a very light green. I initially planned to wear white shoes, but those would not have matched. Great rental!

Perfect summer outfit!
Beautiful colors on this jumpsuit! It may have ran a little big. I'm usually a 2-4 and needed the extra small. I wore with wedges during the day and changed to sneakers at night. Great for a day wine tasting!

Bachelorette party-- didn't make the cut
I was excited to rent this for my bachelorette party but was pretty disappointed in it. It just doesn't do much for one's figure. It's very short-- and I'm only 5'3." Usually that doesn't bother me, but because it hung so loose, it wasn't very flattering. I would have needed to go a size up to get the right length, but then it looked like I was swimming in it. If you are looking to show off your figure, this dress is not the best option. Now, the actual material on it is cool and it looks great on the hanger, just not my favorite RTR option.

Bachelorette party success!
I wore this as a back up for my bachelorette party when I didn't like the original dress I rented. I got SO many compliments on it. Admittedly it was a bit tight as the dress does not have much give. And it was definitely short-- which is saying a lot because I'm only 5'3". However, for a bachelorette party both of those things were a non issue and it got rave reviews from my friends. If you're willing to go short, I'd definitely recommend it.

Beautiful dress but didn't end up wearing-- too formal for my occasion
This dress is really breathtaking-- it clearly is an expensive, beautifully made dress. I rented it for my rehearsal dinner, but ended up wearing the back up dress because I wanted a slightly less formal outfit. I am 5'3" and it was a bit long on me-- about mid calf length. I wore the 2 which is my usual size, but if I were going to wear it for my event I probably would have gone down to a 0 so that it could be a little more fitted around my waist. If I have a more formal event in the future I would definitely consider renting it.

Rehearsal dinner success!
This was my "back up" dress for my rehearsal dinner, but when I tried it on I loved it so much I wore it instead of the original dress I was going to wear. It was perfect for summer, and I loved the hints of color it had to bring some uniqueness to bridal outfit. The size 2 was the only size available-- I may have been able to fit into the 0 if I wanted it a little tighter, but the 2 gave me room to eat and drink all night. I'm only 5'3" and loved the length on it. The material is stretchy which is different than other dresses I've worn by this designer. All in all, would definitely recommend.

Perfect color
I am small chested with a large behind and this dress nicely hugged my form. I wore spanx for added comfort but they probably weren't necessary. I could see how it could get baggy in the stomach area, but with spanks to add material this was a non issue for me. It did not fall down as many strapless dresses do on me. And at 5'3", the slit was perfect!

Color is amazing and very unique.
I got lots of compliments on this outfit. I wore it for a birthday party and the color really stands out. I found the style of it quite flattering. I normally wear a medium in most things but I was glad I got the small because it's pretty loose fitting so you can size down and it's forgiving. I liked it so much that I actually wore it two nights in a row. It was long on me (but I'm short -- 5'3") so I had to pull the bottoms of the pants up a little -- this was easy enough since it's elastic. Obviously plan to wear a backless bra (the actual material is pretty thin) but no complaints about this!
